I need a girlfriend.

I enjoyed that article, and I LOVE those little candy hearts. Ever since I was a kid I have liked Necco Wafers, so naturally I would like the hearts. I have been known to go buy a box of them for myself.....since my valentine has never thought to give me any. (HINT, HINT!) LOL! He is more likely to give me chocolates, but I'm not complaining.....that is okay too!
Happy Valentine's Day to all!
I ate all the Necco Candy hearts. Thanks for the refill.
When I was a pup, we made our own "Valentine mailboxes" covered with red and white construction paper, paper lace doilies, and glued with that white paste that came in the big jars. Everyone always tasted the paste - it was terrible! Fifty cents bought enough Valentine's for the entire class. Last week, Mrsd spent $30+ for Valentines - plus postage. I like the "Old Days."
BTW, I forgot to mention, I like your presentation today. Don't know quite how you did it, but it is very nice. You keep setting the bar ever higher - and I am having a heck of a time keeping up with you. LOL
Special hugs and a Happy Valentine's Day to all the ladies!

Good morning...It's a high emotional day for me today..I'd just rather skip it this year. I've done nothing but deal with the water works all week.

What does it mean to lay down our lives for Christ and for our friends? In John 15, notice Christ's logic as He taught about sacrificial love.
First He said, "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you" (v.12). Then He described the fullest extent of such love: "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (v.13). Jesus died willingly for us and we should be willing to die for Him and our friends.
Then He added, "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you" (v.14). Jesus didn't say we're His friends only if we die for Him. We are also His friends if we obey Him. In God's eyes, obeying Him as a living sacrifice is the way we lay down our life for Him (Romans 12:1).
Similarly, we may not have to die for our friends, but there are other ways to make sacrifices for them. We can lay down our plans or tight schedules to focus on someone in need. Or we can lay down our possessions to make provision for the poor.
Such sacrifices, though small, can be powerful ways to lay down our lives for our friends-if we sacrifice willingly and in the spirit of Christ's love. -Joanie Yoder
The closer you are to God, the bigger your heart for people.
Hi Billie ... beautiuful and sweet thread you weave this morning.
Wishing all the Finest guys and dolls a most wonderful day.
The Beatles once said "the love you take is equal to the love you make" ... but, I think the Good Lord has a way of tipping the scales and giving us a little more than we can muster all by ourselves.
May the King of Love bless us all ... )

This is an *exquisite* thread Miss ((((((Billie))))))).
I'm getting the impression that you can make miracles happen under pressure.

Happy Valentine's Day
